We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is set on a generous plot with expansive gardens, far-reaching views and excellent potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Enjoying a quiet yet highly convenient location within easy reach of the town centre, the property combines a peaceful setting with superb accessibility.
Occupying a particularly favourable position on a larger-than-average plot, this well-presented semi-detached bungalow offers well-proportioned accommodation all on one level.
It presents an ideal opportunity for downsizers or those seeking a home with clear potential to enhance or extend, subject to planning.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch that opens into a central hallway.
The bright and spacious lounge leads through to the kitchen, complete with a range of wall and base units, worktops, and space for appliances. Together, these rooms create a sociable, open-plan feel.
There are two comfortable double bedrooms, and a stylish shower room with a contemporary white three-piece suite completes the interior.
Externally, the front garden is laid to lawn and offers an attractive sense of space that sets the property well back from the road.
A private driveway provides ample parking and leads to an attached garage, which is longer than average and offers excellent storage, workshop potential, or scope for conversion (subject to planning).
Behind the garage is a useful utility room. The rear garden enjoys a sunny and private aspect, with a generous lawn and a raised decked area enjoying lovely far reaching countryside views.
Located in a quiet area with genuine potential to extend or adapt to suit your needs, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-situated bungalow with outdoor space and views to match.
